More quotes by Carl Lewis
Track and field is the best way to reach out for kids. It doesn't matter how fast you are. You always want to beat someone.
Carl Lewis
I wouldn't be surprised if one day Carl's halo slipped and choked him.
Carl Lewis

Carl Lewis
Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.

I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
Carl Lewis
Most people want to become movie stars and I just want to be in the business. I already was a star. If I get the part of a lifetime and it blows up, then that's wonderful. But if the acting doesn't work, fine. I'll just be a producer. And if the producing doesn't work, fine. I've got a lot of other stuff.
Carl Lewis
'm so fortunate to have done what I love to do for so long, but the day I retired was one of the best days of my life. Not because I was happy to get away from the sport, but because it was clear in my mind that I had done all I possibly could, and that it was time to go.
Carl Lewis

Carl Lewis
I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.
Carl Lewis
I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.
Carl Lewis
I never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.
Carl Lewis
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
Carl Lewis
Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
Carl Lewis
I'm very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don't want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.
Carl Lewis
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
Carl Lewis
Join me in the final race to smash poverty and achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals
Carl Lewis
My life isn't interesting! It's my mom. You need to write her life and put me in it. I'm a cameo in her life.
Carl Lewis
An athlete and actor are really two different temperaments, night and day. As an athlete you really keep things out and as an actor you really bring things in.
Carl Lewis
You can't live your life through your children.
Carl Lewis
